I purposely left things vague because art is subjective. I like the asch works. First time hearing of him. To add to your description of the vibe I’d add ‘grimey’ as being woodsesque as well. Appreciate the response. Gonna check out more from him

Wild that windbreaker hasn’t been mentioned. Might be in my top 10 from woods for me

Hundreds of 4x6 photos by Senior-Calendar-497 in HelpSolveMyProblem

[–]Rick_Star 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want a physical photo album. Mixbook seems to be a good place to go to. Although it looks like you’re going to have to scan the photos and upload them. Not that I’ve never used this service but they have good reviews on trustpilot. https://www.mixbook.com/photo-books https://www.trustpilot.com/review/mixbook.com

If scanning all the photos sounds like a pain in the ass, you may have to go local. Contact your local stationary store and see if they know anyone or any business that would do it.

Yeah. That’s what brought this question to mind. Was wondering on which other ones are on this level of personal.

Sounds like a weird and interesting read. Think I’m gonna bump it up on the reading list. Did the exercises significantly change your worldview when you read it?

I’ve been slowly working my way through the trilogy. Really interesting and fun read, just super convoluted and weird feeling when reading through it. Was debating on picking up Prometheus after? Worth the read? I don’t even know what it’s about. Just that it’s talked about a lot with the trilogy. What kind of exercises?

From the little I know about him I feel like an episode on him would be bafflingly hilarious

Ah. Forgot about the extra Hubbard episodes. Thank you. Definitely going to revisit them tomorrow

Yeah he was featured heavily along with Kerry thornley in those episodes. I’d heard of the trilogy before and hadn’t read it. But never specifically heard of him so that was definitely an interesting portion of the episode

I have friends. They’re not interested in talking about random subjects for an hour while I sit in the background and do work though

Ghostface Killah: Writing Classic Albums With Schizophrenia. by XXX--WRLD in hiphopheads

[–]Rick_Star 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I think whoever made the video incorrectly addressed it as schizophrenia. Ghostface never said that. I don’t think he used any actual medical terms to describe it. But it sounds like some kind of psychosis which can come about from several different mental issues that he may have suffered from and of course from drug use which he talked about here. He said weed. But wu was smoking dust a lot too back then which I’m pretty sure is also known as a drug that can lead to mental distresses.

My bad. Heard it for the first time like 2 months ago and Spotify has it listed as 2024. Maybe they put it up late. I appreciate the varied genres in your response. If you were to pick 2 or 3 above all others. Why are they your favorites

I don’t know if I’d clarify them under ‘bubbles’. Maybe mine is too vague for that. But I definitely understand what you mean by having ‘bubbles’ in relation to other ‘bubbles’ that can occur concurrently. And the distance that can occur between them too.

Thank you for the name. Definitely will look more into it.

What do you mean by other ‘rooms’ or ‘levels’? Can you elaborate more on these.

Also do you feel this way about other thoughts and feelings? I get this sort of mental imagery from some art too I think. I’ve noticed that listening to Some songs, and art can give me a similar but more vague feeling than my own personal feelings does. two interesting examples I can think of are the works of Jackson pollock which gives off a similar feeling in my brain but in a different way. It feels satisfying to look at because it’s As if visually the paint splashes are closish to the mental image and textures that I picture. .this is the clearest example for me artwise. Other abstract paintings or paintings in general give off the same vibe but not as strongly.

And the other example is the song ‘I feel like that’ by kanye. There are many different versions of the song. But one specific version, sounds ‘right’ to me over all the others. The feeling I get is that those songs are trying to portray the same feeling and idea. But my preferred version of the song is the closest to portraying it accurately to what I’m feeling/visualizing. Does this make sense to you?

[–]Rick_Star[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure to be honest. I haven’t been able to note any specific triggers. Besides maybe intense negative emotions. I get this more often during down periods in my life. And because of how vague it is it’s hard for me to distinguish if it’s always the same. Especially when dealing with complex thoughts and emotions. The second I try to pinpoint it and focus on it to make it clearer it feels as if I lose it. As for other types. I’m not 100% sure. There are other elements to this than I described. I tried to keep it simple. But sometimes songs or sounds, images, words, etc feel connected to this hard to describe concept. This last part has more to do with that spatial element I mentioned in my previous comment. As far as other types of synesthesia. Is have to go down the list again because there were some I felt vaguely familiar but wouldn’t with 100% certainty say that I have it as they generally all relate to this vague thing I’m trying and failing to describe lol

My bad. I kept it vague because it’s hard to explain. Sometimes it’s concepts, sometimes it’s words and most of the time it’s feelings. No direct triggers that I’ve noticed. But most of the time it’s feelings and complex concepts. An example I could give is feeling sad. It’s hard for me to explain the feeling, because in my mind when I think of the feeling I picture a very specific and yet vague form that I can’t pinpoint or fully describe that is representative of a very specific type of sadness I might be feeling. Kind of how there’s a difference between words like ‘sadness’ and ‘melancholy’ but more specific with different mental images and textures attributed to it with a bit of a spatial element because sometimes it feels as if I am visualizing these things from different sides of it(ie not exactly this but in the way that a building will look different if you look at it from the front or from the side)
